Angel turned
three yesterday!!
Dearest Angel,
I am writing this
letter to the angel of future, some 15, 20 or 25 years down the line. I wonder
what you are now. A writer, a pilot, an astronaut? An artist, a singer , a
dancer? A scientist, a teacher, an
architect? I hope you love and enjoy what you do.
There are certain
commendable qualities (amongst the many more) that I wish you retain throughout
your life.
The first being
your curiosity and inquisitiveness. You want to know everything about
everything right from the intellectual (If milk has calcium and curd is made
from milk then does curd also have calcium) to trite (what nutrients does potty
have) to more thoughtful(If my friend A’s mama has become a teacher now, who
will take care of A)
When I tell you
that I don’t know the answer to something, you tell me to open my laptop and
google it. I hope you still want to find your answers.
The second is your
sense of humour and more importantly your ability to laugh on yourself. You
crack jokes and are in splits thereafter. Like once P aunty asked you whether
you liked corn(which I had told her earlier) and you thought for a moment and
replied, “No. I like unicorn.” And laughed like anything.
And if you do a
mistake, you simply admit it and say, Oh Mama, I forgot it, how silly of me!
And we have a laugh on it and carry on. I hope you leave your baggage behind, as
that my dear, is a key to live happily.
There is one
quality you have about which I am undecided yet. I sometimes think you are too
soft. While reading and watching ‘The Lion King’, you cried. Multiple times. I
had to actually forward the scene where Mufasa dies. In the end, when Simba
kills Scar, you have your own version that Scar is asking for an address and
Simba tells him, so Scar goes and never returns. I sometimes think that how you
will face the big bad world out there, but your belief in goodness makes me
want to want to believe it.
We love you Angel,
and will always do. Thank you for you .
Love
Mamma

You didn’t think I will not tell you the details of your actual 3rd birthday, did you?!
Well, this time we planted 3 saplings to mark your 3rd birthday.
I made a train cake and also ordered a Thomas cake(to be in a safe side :P) You actually wanted a blue teddy cake(blue being your favorite color) and I thought that it must be a common one and went to order at the last moment. Apparently, its not that common, so had to settle for a blue Thomas cake.
I also made this with inputs from you.
There was a party in the evening in the club house and you had helped in preparing the guest list. You loved being the center of attraction and receiving so many gifts. The next day, the moment you opened your eyes, your first words were “Chalo gifts open karte hai" :)
So it was a great start to another wonderful year! Stay Blessed!!
